Cancer, associated with Water, and Virgo, associated with Silicates, can meet in a calmer, more receptive energy. Everyday life can offer them a framework of security and continuity.
The difficulty arises between Cancer’s sensitivity and Virgo’s pragmatism. Virgo may find an emotional reaction excessive; Cancer may sense coldness in a response meant to be practical.
Criticism deserves special attention. If Virgo keeps pointing out what isn’t working and Cancer stores up each remark without expressing its effect, a reproach may eventually come, loaded with situations Virgo no longer remembers or doesn’t understand.
Talking before the hurt builds up keeps analysis from being experienced as a put-down and lets emotion be heard clearly. The other planetary affinities can provide resources for that meeting.
